Away Go the Cattle.

Many are finding it necessary to sell their cattle. Some are selling all they have. A fine herd of thoroughbreds within our knowledge, was sold last week at ruinously low prices. But it was better so, than to attempt to buy feed and carry them through the winter. In all this failure of the hay crop, there is now and then section that has escaped, and we desire to call the attention of those who can keep more cattle than they have, that now is the time to buy. Cattle can be bought for nearly nothing, whenever man finds that he cannot carry his herd through the winter. It is an ill wind that blows no one any good, and those who are unfortunate will be glad to know that anybody is in posi- tion to enjoy prosperity.
 But results will not be as bad to the average farmer and stock-raiser as at first they may seem. As recently men toned by us, the lessening of the num- Der of cattle must eventually raise the price of cattle and the products of the dairy. It is always well to see the lights as we'll as the shadows of every picture on which we look. Taking years together, we all enjoy pretty fair pros perity. One crop may fail this year, or all crops may fail, but the next year or year after we will enjoy more than usual prosperity in some direction. The average of ten years of industry and good management is usually satisfactory, all things con:id, red. Adversity is not without it's benetits anyhow. It tea ches us to be cirefli, and ot,cn compel; us to becor,e better acquainted with the scien of OUT bu inc, nd with an in crease ofinsel.igenea cones an increase of proe.. Let us. st l. vents, be as happy and hopstu, wr can under all circumstances. " rg Rural.

has been sent to the markets regardless of sex, future usefulness or previous con- dition. All these things count, and are of vivid interest both to the cattle raisers and the consumers of beef. They mean that within period, certainly no farther removed than three years, there is to be an awakening to the fact that the beef supply is short.
 The above extract is from the Texas Panhandle, published at Mobeetie, Tex as, m the heart of the range country and contains information, which confirms what has been stated in these columns from time to time for many months. While so much has been said and written in re. gard to the cause of the low prices paid for cattle and there have been so many doctors who knew what medicine should be administered to the patient, there has not been, nor will there be, any benefit accruing therefrom, as far as cattle prices are concerned. Medicine is prescribed for the man with an ailment to assist the natural functions in reassuming control and on the same principal the market for any commodity can only improve when the excessive supply is reduced. In the present instance the cause of the depres- sion is attributed to supply is reduced by the process mentioned in the extract from the Mobeetie, Texas, Panhandle, then there will be return to former prices or figures approximating thereto. No doubt the same state of things exists elsewhere, not only in the range country but with domestic cattle, in fact it is demonstrated by the number of COWS and calves which are being shipped to mar ket.
 The prediction is made, that there will be better prices for cattle next year and still better the year after, and unless all signs fail such will undoubtedly be the case. The forces are at work.

DRAGGED TO DEATH.
The Fatal Accident Which Befell Willie
 Mcfarland.

MCf arlanQ.
 One of the most heart rending acci- dents it has been our duty to chronicle, befell the nine year old son of our towns man, Mir. S. R. Mcfarland. This gen tleman was in Pantano yesterday, in the discharge of his duties, and was accom- panied by Willie. While there the lad was placed upon horse which made a few turns in the vicinity quite quietly, but at last quickened his pace while sor,e distance from the lockers on, among whom was his father, and before they could assist him, was thrown, his foot remain- ing in the stirrup, in which position he was dragged to death in the sight of hs agonized parent, who was powerless to render him any assistance until too late.
 All too late indeed, it was, although but a few short minutes, when the horror stricken group caught the horse and ex- tracted the child. He was a painful sight to witness. The scalp torn com pletely from his head, aud skull cracked; arms broken and thigh terribly mutilated. Tender hands removed him but life was extinct.
 Willie was an uncommonly bright lad, one of those that we pick out and re- member as little men among boys, a favorite among his school fellows and the community generally. His sad fate will long be remembered and deplored.
 The grief stricken parents have indeed the warmest sympathy of all, in this sad bereavement.
 The remains were buried here to-day, and followed to the grave by the entire community. AMIGO

TEWKSBURY- Y-GRAHAM.
Several More Murders in the Pleasant
 Valley Reported.

Valley Reported.
 T. D. Tewksbury arrived in town to- day from the notorious Pleasant valley country, and with him comes the news of still further depredations and mur- ders there. From what can be learned of the developments of the past few days, it would appear that at least two and probable more men have met death with their boots on. The last two to meet their end are John Graham and Ed. Tewksbury. Definite information of the immediate circumstances leading 10 the death of Graham are lacking, except that it was at the hands of Tewksbury. Tewksbury, however, was shot while re- sisting arrest by Sheriff Mulvenon. As to who the others were, who were killed, or how many, the reporter was unable to learn on good authority, although he is satisfied from the remarks of those who could tell, that at least five have come to the end of their rope. The total number now supposed to have been killed in connection with the feuds of that region are eleven, all in little more than week.
 Sheriff Mulvenon, of Yavapai county is now in that region with posse of deputies, and he will be public bene- factor if he succeeds in exterminatir E the whole gang.
 Marshal Wells left on the Prescott stage to-day for the scene of the massa ere, and as he is we'll acquainted wi | all parties living in the Tonto Basin ar Pleasant valley districts, having lived in that country in the cattle business, he will no doubt render valuable assistance Daily Arizonan.

A Complete Office.

The job office belonging to the EPITAPH was this week removed from the Democrat building to this office, and now under one roof can be found the largest and best selection of printing material to be found in Arizona, all com. paratively new and in good working order. The plant in part consists of one large Hoe power press, that cost $I5oo in New York, one Peerless press (the best job press manufactured), one power paper cutter, besides all other material necessary for 6rst-class newspaper and job printing office. Our facilities for doing commercial work cannot be sur passed even in San Francisco. We men, ton these facts merely to impress upon the minds of those people who have been in the habit of sending away for their job work that they have an opportunity to be as we'll served right here at hsme. They can keep their money at home and thus aid local institution that pays taxes to carry on the government. In the matter of cards, letter-heads, bill-heads, statements, blanks, posters, and in fac, everything except the larger class ol blank books, which require raling and binding, we are determined to suit our customers or no charge will be made. Give us trial, and if you are not suited continue to send your orders away from home, and also continue to blame your custemsss tox doing tho same thing.

Indemnity Lands.

Speaking of the effect of tho recent
order of the interior department restor-
ing to public entry and settlement the
Northern Pacific indemnity lands, Col.
Sanders yesterday explained it about as
follows: A part of the granting act gave
the company an indemnity belt of ten
miles on each side of the grant from
which to select lands lost to it by settle
ment within the land grant. Afterward
the interior department permitted the
company IN 60 beyond this original in
demnity belt and select lands for in
demnity purpo ses. In the states of
Minnesota and Wisconsin the lands lost
to the company by settlement amounted
to so much that the indemnity limits in
those states would not suffice to reim-
burse them, and the company went into
Dakota and there selected indemnify
lands to supply the deficiency in Mime
sofa and Wisconsin, as well as to cover
the required Indemnities in that terri
tory. The gist of the interior depart
meut's recent decision is that the com
pany cannot go outside of its original
indemnity belt, and, further, that it
cannot select indemnity land outside of
the state or territory for which indem-
nifty is sought; that is to say, for instance,
the company cannot take land in Dakota

Masonry In Montana.

A few statistics from the admirable
address of Grand Master Word at the
opening of the session of the Grand
Lodge of Mlsons at Helena on Thursday
last will be of interest to others besides
Masons. At the time of the Grand
Lodge of Montana in 1856 there were
three subordinate lodges in existence,
Virginia City No. /, Montana No . and
Helena No.3 Now there are twenty
eight chartered lodges and two under dis
pensation with a total membership of L.
800. There are in the United States.
nearly fifty Grand Lodges, to which al
most 10000 subordinate organizations
owe fealty and it is estimated that the
number of Masons in good standing in
the United States approaches three
quarters ola million. These figures are
not appalling, but when it is understood
that adherents to Missionary are not
solicited to become such by members OF
the order but do so of their own volution
unpersuaded, its strength ia considerable
